How to know when it’s Time for a Change in Life

Most of us want change in life as much as we are afraid of it. We say things like, I’m so unhappy in my marriage, but I’m afraid of being alone. I’m sick of working in corporate, but I have no idea what else I would do. I can’t stand where I live, but my home is paid off.

When we resist change, it’s because we’re still holding on to what the universe is asking us to release. Whether it’s planned or unplanned change, we are being asked to re-examine or life and consider what direction really matters most.

Change is part of life. And whether you like it or not, it’s going to take place with or without your approval. It could be something pint-size (your favorite ice cream joint shut down), or gigantic (death, divorce, or disability). The universe has a natural way of balancing things out.

Based on my own experience and that of hundreds of clients, change is much more enjoyable if you make a change instead of waiting for the universe to do it for you.

Here are 10 signs it is time for a life change.

1. When you romanticize the past to escape the present.

Ask yourself why you’re afraid to look at the present, and take steps to create a more positive situation.

2. When you resist unexpected opportunities out of fear of the unknown or what others will say.

Instead of holding onto what isn’t working, be open to letting go so you can make room for what will work.

3. When you feel numb.

When we feel numb to life, it’s because we’ve lost passion and motivation.Ask yourself if you’re just going through the motions. Try doing more of what you love each day and watch your inspiration come back.
